WTF is this on my face?

[jimnyc]

Uh oh, just passed by and Mrs. Jim is reading this thread. She said something about if I wasn't nice she was going to login and tell everyone all kinds of stories. I guess I'm a hypochondriac at times and am a Momma's boy when I get injured. Either way, listen to nothing the woman says if she joins, it's all lies!

Looks like a bite, though it could also be an abscess.

I worked with a woman who got a similar random spot on her cheek, turned out it was an abscess, and left a (tiny) scar like a hole in her cheek. Def worth getting it checked out.

Look who's back!

I suspect that at the moment, it would be pretending but the alternative may cover you with zits.

Why 21 days? That's MUCH too long!

Well Jim, I watched on TV a program saying it takes 21 days for the pretending to be a habit.

Try to recall that at one point, she actually happily married you. Now you need to fix what changed. And get her to try it also.

Well, I am on Moxilla as you suggested. I see the red underline but it is not self fixing as Word does for me. Mozilla so it does know the right spelling.

I am flummoxed at what happened to all my former bookmarks I checked where I was to to bring over book marks. I have to get back to IE to see my book marks.

I did manage to put this forum on Mozilla. I dunno, so far, a lot of work it looks like to me.

If you know a tip, let me know how to get all of my bookmarks into Mozilla.

An abscess? How the hell would I have gotten that?

It would just be a bacterial infection that got into a skin pore (you can see some larger open ones around your eyes)

However having shown the pic to my gf (who's all medically inclined) she said bite, and then kinda shot down my abscess idea by saying that abscesses don't itch ^,^;

Now I want her to join just to spill the beans on all sorts of things for joyous entertainment.

See, another one with the bite theory. She's a smart one, Noir, hang onto her!

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ooooooooooooooooooo!!!

Looks like spider bite to me. I hate when they drop down from the ceiling and land on me! Eeeek!!

Ok then she can just PM me everything for future blackmail fodder.

5 days since I started this thread and it's now turned black on me. That's generally a sign of death, as in dead skin. The swelling in the eye area has subsided a bit though. If any blackness should spread I would immediately get to a doctor. Hell, still could just be acne, but I personally never had a zit turn black. And it has "growth" to it, but not a fluid feeling, but still a thick feeling like what a mosquito bite feels like for a bit.

Jim. Not trying to scare you but. I had something just like that on my right shoulder several months ago. It only grew slightly larger than what your photo shows. My doctor removed it...made a small incision to remove it. Saved it for the Lab to investigate, and learned it was a Melanoma from too much sun, many years ago. He removed all of it at a second visit, and it is now just a scar.

Sun damage to the skin is common, and it IS easily removed if handled quickly. Not to worry. But I would suggest you visit your Doctor.
What you have probably won't do anything more than get a dark scab, but it can go deeper into your skin. Let the doc remove it.
Seriously. It doesn't look like a Bite now.

Up to you. But today. Anyone, from children to older people like myself...for example John McCain...who also had the same thing on his left cheek a few years ago. IT IS TREATABLE...and should be removed.

I haven't laughed that hard in a long time, thanks Glock!!!

I don't know how I missed Glock posting that. I EFFING HATE SPIDERS!! Just looking at that thing made my hair stand on end. I don't know if that vid is real or a setup, but that's why I don't get to close to those sneaky bastards. Get a 6 foot broom and swing at it like Babe Ruth!

Between the writing below the video, and watching it again, I'm afraid it's real. And if that was me, first off, I never would try that, but if it were me, and that thing fell on me, I would have ran straight through a wall or window. No joking.

Sassy, the first time I saw that was at my favorite Thai restaurant with my wife and daughter. We are waiting for our order and my daughter shows me that video on her smart phone. I nearly jumped out my seat and the manager, who knows me by name, ran over and thought I was having a stroke or something.
